<p>Those who have joined a family member in the UK through refugee family reunion
are entitled to the same support as any other person. As with anyone else, they will

additional support to access DWP services.</p>

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions she has had
with the Home Secretary on collaboration between the Home Office and her Department
to ensure that refugees are able to access the employment support and social security
benefits that they are entitled to.

involves contacting persons at the point when they are granted refugee status to see
if they wish to apply for benefits and require assistance to do so. If they say they
do, an appointment at a local DWP office is arranged for them.</p>
